Cannot change user passwords in System Prefs

They just don't "take." I can change passwords as root in terminal using passwd no problem but not in System Prefs pane.
The secure.log hints that something happens:
Apr 20 19:08:01 Dualie com.apple.SecurityServer: Succeeded authorizing right system.preferences by process /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Admin.framework/Resources/writeconfig for authorization created by /Applications/System Preferences.app.
But then I try to use that password and:

Apr 20 19:10:03 Dualie com.apple.SecurityServer: authinternal failed to authenticate user lucy.

I had a similar problem ---- The initial problem was that my AirPort network password wouldn’t stay set and when I attempted to change the settings in the Network pane, I got a dialog box which said: “Please enter your keychain password --- System Preferences wants to use keychain ‘System.’ “ I opened “Details” and it showed Keychain: System Keychain and Application: System Preferences. I thought I had corrupted my keychain and first created a new keychain per the Mac Help instructions. This did not correct the problem and I made a screen shot *using Snapz Pro) to send to Apple or MacFixIt; I noticed that the title bar said SecurityAgentScreen which was the first time i heard of SecurityAgent --- and there is not much in the way of documentation on it.
My next attempt was to rebuild my System which did not fix the problem, so I called apple Technical Support. I was directed to move the Keychain folder from my Home directory (Home/Library/Keychains) to the Desktop and reboot. This corrected the problem, however, there is suspicious difference: the new Keychains folder contains only “login.keychain.” I surmise that the keychains are now invisible and encrypted, and, are accessed via SecurityAgent which was introduced in 10.4.1 ,SecurityAgent was most probably developed to correct keychain vulnerabilities, but.I have not been find any documentation, or at least any that I can comprehend.

User cannot change expired password at logon

Hi
I've got 4 Fujitsu laptop with Windows 7 business SP1 x64 (Fujitsu setup). When the domain password expired, users cannot change their password at logon. Also, they can change password in their opened session before it expire (CTRL+ALT+DEL ==>
change password).
The change password at logon windows is buggy : It only display one field to put password in, the confirmation field does not display.
When user valid is change, Windows display error "wrong username or password ". Only way to unlock this situation is to reset user password in ADUC and never let expire.
I seen no sofware or driver wich could interfe.
Domain controler (only one) is Windows server 2012 standard.
Has somebody ever seen this type of problem ?

Hi,
Can you post a screenshot for this situation?
Sometimes, the third party credential provider would lead to some issue like this, I suggest you check the
current credential provider via the following path:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\SessionData\x\LastLoggedOnProvider
You should compare the result with the values in the following path:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\credential providers
If the current value is third party credential provider, try to disable it:
To disable the provider add a REG_DWORD value "Disabled"=1 to that provider’s CLSID subkey.
The provider will be disabled on the next session creation (sessions are created when you log off, switch users, or reboot.

Unable to change user password (OD-Master)

Hi!
Running a xserve with 10.9.5 as an OD-Master with more than 1000 users I realized that I cannot change their passwords anymore.
I'm using WorkgroupManager, and get the following message:
"In order to set the password of a a user with an Open Directory Password, your own password type must be Open Directory. Administrators with other password types cannot set the password of a user with an Open Directory password."
In the server.app I cannot change the password too without any error-message. The dialog is just not disappearing.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Peter

Well I had exactly the same problem here with OS X 10.9.5 Mavericks Server and Security Update 2015-004 applied.
I tried several things (rekerberize my server, reset my Open Dir Admin password) but finally what worked for me:
I renewed my Certificate with Server.app > Certificates > double click on your certificate > a new window opens with the certificate > click "Renew..." > then "OK"
After that I could create a new user with a password with "Server.app" without trashing my whole OD-Master :-)
Also what could help: In "Workgroup Manager.app" > try to login with a local admin credential > then click on the right "Lock" icon > and authenticate
with the "OpenDir-Admin" credential so that you will see "Authenticated as myopendiradmin to directory; /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1

Change User password not working in SAP ME 6.0

Hi,
In SAP ME 6.0 SP01 6.0.1.0 Counter 40, the activity "Change User Password" does not work for me or any other user.
The activity window (Netweaver) shows, but in the top it says "An error occurred - contact system administrator".
This is the output from the default trace file. Seems my user is not authorized, but where do I set this authorization?

Problem with Notifications on Create User/ Change User Password

Hello,
I'm having a problem sending emails to users when an account is created in OIM.
I added a notification to the user and user's manager on the Create User task in the Xellerate User process definition but the emails are not being sent.
I know that if I create another task with the purpose of sending emails and invoke it through the response in the Create User task, it will work.
My aim is to avoid adding tasks for something OIM should be able to do OOTB.
I'm also unable to send an email when a password is updated.. I did the same thing as for the Create User and I know the task (Change User Password) is being invoked by looking at the logs but the emails aren't being sent.
Has anyone ran into such problems?
I'm having these problems in the Xellerate User process task.. i've added notifications in other process tasks (mainly approval tasks) and they are working fine.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I am just confuse with your response.Have you added the "Password Updated" task in xellerate user provisioning process?
Now if you changing password in OIM profile it will trigger "Change User Password" task not the "Password Updated" task and even if you add "Password Updated" task on Xellerate User provisioning task you can't see this task in Resource Details.
Now assume if you added your notification on "Password Updated" task of any resource which user is provisioned to even then when you change oim password it only trigger "Change User Password" task.So try to have your notification on "Change User Password" task.
Please clarify so that I can response correctly.
Regards
Nitesh

Got it thanks macjack . Command + S on restart.
In this case Nad69-Breizh did you try restarting with the option key down and re-selecting the boot drive.

ISE 1.2 Guest portal user cannot change their passwords

I have a WLC 5508(version 7.6) and a server installed the ISE (version 1.2.1.198)，Now we configured the CWA，Use guest portal as an employee and guest login url，We can use the manually create internal user and password successfully logged in, and we set up allow guest users to change password in Multi-Portal, but the user can not change the password in the guest portal ,I suspect the change password option on the Guest Portal actually works? Can anyone tell me how to change their own username password in the guest portal ?

Requiring Guests to Change Password
You can allow or require guest users to change their password after their initial account credentials are created by the sponsor. If guest users change their passwords, sponsors cannot provide guests with their login credentials if they are lost. The sponsor must create a new guest account.
You can either allow guests to change their passwords, or you can require that they do it at expiration and at first login. To require internal users using a guest portal to change their password upon their next login, choose Administration > Identity Management > Identities > Users . Select the specific internal user from the Network Access Users list and enable the change password check box.
Before You Begin
Create a Guest portal or modify the DefaultGuestPortal. This setting is specific to each Guest portal.
Step 1 Choose Administration > Web Portal Management > Settings > Guest > Multi-Portal Configuration.
Step 2 Check the Guest portal to update and click Edit .
Step 3 Click the Operations tab.
Step 4 Check either or both options:
Allow guest users to change password
Require guest users to change password at expiration and first login
Step 5 Click Save .

How can you create a customized page to change user password?

Hello to all,
I would like to create a customized page for a user to change their password. We are using Portal version 3.0.9 on Windows NT/2000. Currently there is a page in portal where a user can change their password.
I tried linking to that page by copying the shortcut url and adding it as an html portlet. The problem is that we want to direct the users to a
page of our choosing when they click on the "cancel" and "ok" buttons. I read in the forums that there is a selfreg.cmd script.
I also read that there is some code that has been available.
Has anyone implemented a customized user password change page? Do you know of any links that might have steps to follow or
more informatioin?
Thanks in advance,
Lindsay

Change user password , when DB is in mount state

Hello,
1. How to check user status , when database is in MOUNT stage. ? (Locked/Expired)
2. Is it possible to change the password of the user SYSTEM , while database is in mount state.?
If DB is open , we can query DBA_USERS table and can get the details of users (username, account_status,lock_date,expiry_date, etc...)
But , is it possible to query these data, when the DB is in MOUNT state.
3. Im having SYS authority. I want to change the password of SYSTEM user, and make SYSTEM unlock in the Standby Database. (Which is in mount state).
How can i do this?
regards,
Zerandib

How to check user status , when database is in MOUNT stage. ? (Locked/Expired)You cannot check the user status when the database is in mount stage. You need to have the database is open mode to check the status of the users.
Is it possible to change the password of the user SYSTEM , while database is in mount state.?It is not possible to change the password of any user when the database is in mount state. Open the database and then change the password.
If DB is open , we can query DBA_USERS table and can get the details of users (username, account_status,lock_date,expiry_date, etc...)
But , is it possible to query these data, when the DB is in MOUNT state.No. Not possible.
3. Im having SYS authority. I want to change the password of SYSTEM user, and make SYSTEM unlock in the Standby >Database. (Which is in mount state).
How can i do this?Answer to this question was given in your previous thread created nearly 12 hours back. It makes no sense to change the password on the standby database. It a mirrored copy of your primary database.
Change the password of the user in primary database and perform a log switch. The password would be changed on the standby as soon as the log is applied on the standby database.
Whenever you try to change the password of a user in mount stage,you get an error message saying "shutdown is in progress". So change it only when the database is open

DS console operators cannot change their passwords?

I've setup named developer accounts with the operator role, so that (among other things) they can tell who has an object checked out. But it seems that console users cannot change their own passwords: someone with administrator access needs to do it for them? Is that correct? This goes against best practices, where an administrator can reset a password but the user then changes (preferably, the are forced to change it on first logon). If that is the case, hopefully it's addressed in the next release (we are using SAP BusinessObjects Data Services, version: 12.2.3.0).

802.1X cannot change expired password at login

Hi all,
I'm trying to roll out 802.1X authentication for wifi access at my company, however there's one major problem I can't for the life of me figure out. I'm not able to get the Macs to prompt for a password change when the password has expired at login.
On Windows when you log in it will prompt you to change your password when it's expired. However on OSX when you're on the workstation login screen, you can see the wireless icon briefly connect, then it will think for a bit and the user cannot log in at all.
OSX can definitely can change expired passwords via 802.1X, as if I log into a local account and connect to the wifi with the user whose password has expired, it will prompt to change it, and changes it successfully.
I'm using NPS for RADIUS authentication against AD, and using Profile Manager in OSX Server to create the 802.1X profile.
Does anyone have any experience with OSX and using WPA Enterprise/802.1X Profiles?
Thanks!

Cannot reset User password

The other user on my iBook got locked out of his account, accidentally typing the wrong password. When I go into Users, even as an admin, I cannot reset the password. The button is shaded out as is the short name, the only field avaiable is the User name.

Look at these links.
Here's the instructions if you have the discs.
